Delicious "Rice" Dish Lower in Simple Carbs
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups Cauliflower (Dice yourself or sold as "rice")
- 1/2 cup basmati rice (optional – can add more or not add at all.)
- 1 cup finely diced zucchini
- 1 small shallot (optional)
- 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
- 1 cup minced swiss chard
- 2 tsp dried herbs (poultry seasoning)
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- olive oil to taste
- 1/2 cup chopped heirloom tomatoes
- 1/2 cup fresh herbs (parsley, cilantro or dill could work)
- 1/4 cup diced olives (optional)
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Sauté shallot in a little bit of olive oil until translucent (several minutes).
- Add cumin, salt, and pepper and sauté for another minute. (You can add other spices here like poultry seasoning or herbs de Provence.
- Add celery, cauliflower, and zucchini and cook for several minutes on medium-high heat.
- After 5-7 minutes (veggies are soft), add Swiss chard and take off the heat.
- Cool for several minutes if eating later, and add fresh herbs, lemon juice, olive oil to taste, olives, and tomatoes after about 30 minutes. This salad is terrific at room temperature. Letting it cool allows for the herbs to not be cooked by the warm food if eaten later. When this is the case, they lose their taste. If eating right away, add the fresh herbs and serve it right away.
